“…In 2003/2004 a comprehensive international study of male reproductive function which involved 18-25 year old young men from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was performed. Results of KELLY cohort from this study have previously been reported in publications concerning different aspects of their reproductive health (12,(17)(18)(19).…”

“…The background information provided by the questionnaire as well as semen parameters and sex hormone levels (Table 3) make it possible to compare these basal indexes of reproductive health with results of earlier studies, performed using the same methodology of investigation (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). The hormonal concentrations at least LH, FSH, PRL, Inhibin B and testosterone have an influence on physical appearance and also maintain the secondary sexual characteristics, the maturation of semen, sexual behaviour in particular and general psyche.…”

context. In the year 2003-2004 a circumstantial investigation of young men reproductive health parameters was performed in Nordic and Baltic countries, but sexuality remained undetermined.objective. To determine the suitability of the European Male Ageing Study -Sexual Function Questionnaire (EMAS -SFQ) for investigation of sexuality of 26-36 year aged general population and to investigate sexuality of Kaunas participants in the project "The reproductive function of Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian Young men (2003)(2004))" (KELLY), using EMAS -SFQ.design. Sixty one 26-36 year aged KELLY men were recaptured from the list of participants in a 2003-2004 study and completed EMAS -SFQ. Their anthropometric characteristics, scores of sexuality (22 parameters from EMAS -SFQ, 3 calculated parameters and 2 parameters consisting from answers to the only question -masturbation and erectile function-for each participant) were analysed, in conjunction with anthropometric, sperm quality and hormone levels of 2003-2004 18-25 year old general population.results. Overall sexual functioning and masturbation were higher as compared to all the published data for different age men and different testosterone concentration groups of EMAS study.conclusions. KELLY sexuality results, obtained using EMAS -SFQ, would be considered as referral values for young men in countries with generally good reproductive health.
